Fuel Cells are awesome stuff without a doubt.

Still part of me is disappointed...]]>Feb 25th 2009 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sony-shows-off-its-latest-fuel-cells-and-cola-powered-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sony-shows-off-its-latest-fuel-cells-and-cola-powered-batteries/Feb 25th 2009 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sony-shows-off-its-latest-fuel-cells-and-cola-powered-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sony-shows-off-its-latest-fuel-cells-and-cola-powered-batteries/Feb 25th 2009 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sony-shows-off-its-latest-fuel-cells-and-cola-powered-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sony-shows-off-its-latest-fuel-cells-and-cola-powered-batteries/
- Social consumption of methanol may result in blindness
- it's highly flammable

Both these factors mean that if we finally see wide scale adoption of fuel cells, the meths needed will only be sold in luminous purple with added chemicals to make it stink. Sounds grand.

I'm gonna keep holding out for hydrogen, or to sticking electrodes into oranges.]]>Feb 25th 2009 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sony-shows-off-its-latest-fuel-cells-and-cola-powered-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sony-shows-off-its-latest-fuel-cells-and-cola-powered-batteries/Feb 25th 2009 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sony-shows-off-its-latest-fuel-cells-and-cola-powered-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sony-shows-off-its-latest-fuel-cells-and-cola-powered-batteries/... And for what reason should people start to drink that now, after it beeing commercially available since they first made it from wood. Well, some stupid americans will eventually, and then sue everyone and their grandmothers for their own stupidity.

- it's highly flammable
... I'm sure you heard of a liquid called "gasoline" that is currently used for many things fuel cells will be used for in the future. And if you compare their flammability - you might notice the methanol is not the worst of the two.

Methanol is less flammable than gasoline, congratulations. Don't remember comparing the two though? Anyway, as a flammable liquid, it is still band in the US and UK as carry-on:

"Regardless of what parents might believe, however, sugar is not to blame for out of control little ones. At least 12 double blind randomised controlled trials have examined how children react to diets containing different levels of sugar. None of these studies, not even studies looking specifically at children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, could detect any differences in behaviour between the children who had sugar and those who did not. This includes sugar from sweets, chocolate, and natural sources. Even in studies of those who were considered "sensitive" to sugar, children did not behave differently after eating sugar full or sugar-free diets.

"Scientists have even studied how parents react to the sugar myth. When parents think their children have been given a drink containing sugar (even if it is really sugar-free), they rate their children’s behaviour as more hyperactive. The differences in the children’s behaviour were all in the parents’ minds."

The worst part is the quality of writing on engadget "and you thought that stuff was only good for making your nephews run."

Run to the toliet or run to an english teacher ?]]>Feb 25th 2009 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sony-shows-off-its-latest-fuel-cells-and-cola-powered-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sony-shows-off-its-latest-fuel-cells-and-cola-powered-batteries/Run as in operate, like cell phone, but people. I do agree, the sentence is a bit of a stretch of English language.
Also, to the above, caffeine does not cause EVERYONE to become wired. In people that truely have ADHD, it will calm them, as stimulants cause people with the disorder to be less hyper. I've known psychologist who have recommended that if you are having problems with an ADHD child and don't have his/her medicine available, mountain dew or coffee is better than nothing.]]>Feb 25th 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sony-shows-off-its-latest-fuel-cells-and-cola-powered-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sony-shows-off-its-latest-fuel-cells-and-cola-powered-batteries/
